on sale…or For Sale at a more realistic price?

I think they had it at that price before Christmas. The set isn’t all that interesting to me personally, but it seems like an excellent price. The track is high quality. I was just running my little Piko 0-6-0 and was very pleased with it. Plus I had a blast detailing it up

Once you get the paint off the wheels this is a good little engine, $60 is a super super price, if I was looking for a 0-6-0 type engine I’d jump at it if I already didnt have one. I paid $75 for the engine alone

(EDIT: its $60 off, not $60 total Oops!)

Say what? Doesn't the link lead to a $170 set? Soooo where does the $60 dollar engine come in?

HJ Please look again, I opened it and it says just under the product description in bold red letters: [u]Reduced $60.00 for a limited time[/u] the $170 price is only listed at the bottom. I guess they want to clear these out.

Hmmmm? the $169.99 is listed right at the top! (and the bottom) or are you telling me they sell them for 109.99?

My bad, dam googly eyes, its $60 off, not $60 … Still at $169 thats not too bad, not as good as $60 but way better than $230 they were asking, too bad, $60 would be a downright steal :wink:

Too bad no BR80 sets. Did any actually make it to the US?

I could be wrong, but aren't they flogging those in Germany right now?
#11

Right, but I do not think any made to the US. I guess TEE-USA or TrainLi would be the US Piko sources now outside of dealing direct with a dealer such as LokShop or Big Train World?

Well, a Piko V60 and some thunderbox coaches have appeared on eBay, so I assume at least some private importation of new Piko items has started in the US?
